Description
Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force - a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write.
Commentaires
“A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller... Rice begins where Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and penetrates directly to the true fascination of the myth–the education of the vampire.” (Chicago Tribune)
“Unrelentingly erotic...sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable.” (Washington Post)
“If you surrender and go with her...you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream.” (Boston Globe)

Très bon livre.
Ce livre (le premier des Chroniques des vampires) est écrit sous la forme d'une interview de Louis le vampire par un jeune garçon. En réalité il s'agit essentiellement du récit de Louis avec quelques interruptions quand le garçon pose des questions (essentiellement dans la première partie de l'histoire) ou quand il doit changer la cassette (le roman a été dans les années 1970). J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à suivre, dans un ordre pas toujours chronologique, la vie de Louis entre la France de la Révolution française et les plantations de Louisiane, avant et après sa transformation. Malheureusement le roman se termine de façon peu originale sinon attendue. Le narrateur est très agréable à écouter. Par contre le découpage des segments de l'enregistrement est très étrange, parfois au milieu d'un paragraphe, sans doute parce qu'il n'y a pas de réelle division en chapitres.

Unabridged at last - First class
The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice can only be fully enjoyed in the unabridged versions as the unfolding stories of the whole series are so complex and interconnected. Facts and incidents missing from any of the first books detract from the understanding and enjoyment of those following on.
Simon Vance is as always an excellent narrator and in" Interview with the Vampire", strikes just the right voices for the characters. Serious, sad Louis and wild irresponsible Lestat came to life perfectly as I had imagined. If audible brings us the "Mayfair Witches" in unabridged versions also that will be an added bonus.
Highly recommended to those already addicted and to listeners new to Anne Rice's work - these are the true vampires - don't expect tender romance or vegetarian vamps here!

God the narrator
I love this story and so I bought the paperback years ago and then recently wanted to reread it so I thought I’d try here. My god that was the biggest mistake. The narrator does a fake almost Dracula type “vampire” voice for the parts of the main character and I just can’t get into it. I tried, I really tried and now when I tried to read my paperback all I could hear is the fake Dracula voice....this story is ruined for me now.

New Editions!
This new recording of Anne Rice's classic book is welcome and thrilling. It's most important to know that these audiobooks (including "Vampire Lestat" and "Queen of the Damned") are not reissues of the unabridged CDs that were made years ago with Frank Muller doing the reading. I know that many listeners enjoy Mr. Muller's work, but I found his reading of The Vampire Chronicles to be far too mannered and "affected." I listened to the earlier CDs primarily because I'm a big fan of the Chronicles; but I always had a hard time getting past Mr. Muller's voice. I don't wish to be cruel about Mr. Muller - as I said, I know he has many fans, and has had a long and successful career as a voice actor - it's just that personally, I cannot appreciate the vocal mannerisms he uses and the type of performance he gives.
Now, thankfully, and at last, we have another award-winning Master Storyteller (Simon Vance) re-telling these tales! Within the first few minutes of listening, I knew that this would be the version that I could love and listen to over and over again. Mr. Vance easily evokes the "correct" atmosphere in his narrative, and moves between dialects as if he were a "Complete Cast" on his own. Sections that seemed awkward poetically in Mr. Muller's performance, now are rich, imaginative and evocative.
I am thrilled to recommend this to fans and first-timers alike. If you've heard the previous recording - even if you like it - you will love this new one. Fingers tightly crossed in the hope that Mr. Vance will also record "Tales of the Body Thief" and finally give us an unabridged recording of "Memnoch the Devil" (which has only ever been recorded in an abridged format).
Finally, I've heard Anne Rice say that she thinks that "The Witching Hour" (and probably "Lasher" and "Taltos") will be recorded in an unabridged format soon. Now THAT'S something to look forward to!! (Please, please, please....let it happen!)

Standard Bearer for the Genre
As we approach the 'Teens there is, in my experience, an inordinate interest in the Vampire genre - Twilight, True Blood, Dark Shadows and even Hotel Transalvania are some examples. All of these (though I admit to having seen only the 1st Season of True Blood) pale into comparison with this excellent book. There are many things to like about it. Among my list are its level of detail,its lack of tasteless romance and pointless sensuality and its true Gothic insight. There is, of course, an element of romanticism and sensuality, but they are not at the forefront of the narrative. That narrative is dominated by Louis, Lestat, Armand and Claudia.
If you have read Dracula, or Frankenstein, or Golem and enjoyed them, then you will probably enjoy this too.
I waited a while to write the review. First I wanted to re-watch the film. I had remembered Lestat as a nicer character. He was in the Tom Cruise played role, but he is not in the book. I had remembered Christina as older (played by a very young Kirsten Dunst), but she is not in the book. This apart, the movie is a reasonably faithful adaptation and I enjoyed it again, as I did revisiting the book.
And then for the performance; Simon Vance gives a super performance, again. He reprises some of his Dracula style (from the audio I listened to earlier this year and I have reviewed elsewhere). For me he held the book together when it was beginning to drain me (no pun intended). I think the book is a tad too long (hence the 3 stars for Story). The accent at the beginning was a bit hard to appreciate, but by the end it was absolutely right. Armand was pitched beautifully, too. Perhaps Claudia was the least effective character, but I suspect that is the tone of the book rather than the voice interpretation.
Overall, I think the book a true standard bearer. I look forward to The Vampire Lestat in the not too distant future.

No One can beat Anne Rice
Having read the vampire trilogy by Anne Rice when they first came out, it was very nice to see them in an unabridged audiobook format.
Excellent listening!

Compelling, Simon Vance does it again!
I had only seen the movie. It was good, but listening to the book narrated by Simon Vance is great. Immediately bought Lestat.

Apropos!
I've been cursing (to my uninterested wife) Audible, for at least the last year for not having Anne Rice's quintessential books unabridged. Audible has definitively and irrevocably solved that problem today. Simon Vance is a brilliant orator who satisfies this burgeoning classic for audiobookephiles (yes I [may have] just coined a new English word) of the most discriminating variety. This is a beautiful title in many facets, purchase without hesitation.

The narrator brings this classic alive. At times it was so real, I caught myself crouching down, looking from side to side out of fear. Much better than the movie.

A great start to a great series
If you are from a generation where Anne Rice is unknown to you, expect for a Pitt/Cruise blockbuster you may have seen, buckle up buttercup and jump head first into this book and series. Throw what you may know completely out the window about Lestat and Louie. This is a deep and rich story, full of heartache, love, passion, horror, and mayhem of vampires coming into the new American world of New Orleans and trying to understand their place while generally doing as they please. This is the backbone and base for several characters, including Lestat, who will be your favorite in the end, no matter how hard you try to avoid him. Simon Vance gives a great performance, and his voice adds a certain authenticity to the performance that really makes it stand out. He also continues narration of the series, so make sure to check out "The Vampire Lestat" when this book is finished and you need more

Herrliches Hörbuch
Ich kannte eigentlich nur den Film, und die gekürzte Deutsche Version dieses Hörbuch. Da verpasst man so einiges. Diese Version ist wirklich sehr unterhaltsam, gut und spannend. Ein sehr homo-erotisches Hörbuch. Die stimme ist sehr angenehm. Das Englisch des Vorlesers ist amerikanisch, aber nicht sehr ausgesprochen und angenehm. Da es Buch ja auch so geschrieben ist, ist das normal (Man stelle sich Jeeves & Wooster vor in einen sehr breiten Amerikanische vorgelesen, das Würde nicht passen).
Da jeder wohl die Handlung kennt werde ich die nicht weiter beschreiben. Es ist ein sehr literarisch wertvolles Hörbuch das die verschiedenen Zeiten in die es spielt recht antut.
